Always close to her family, she enjoyed large family gatherings and time with her siblings, their spouses and many children. Most recently she found a wonderful home at Chapel Oaks where she shared her positive attitude and enthusiasm with a new circle of friends. Theater, current events, exercise, Morgan & McKenzie, a glass of wine with friends kept her vital and engaged. Refusing to be slowed by COVID, she discovered FaceTime and used it to stay connected with sisters, friends, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
